This is my script for handling unsolicited sales calls. I can tell by the caller id as they usually come in on our second (unpublished) phone number.

Tips

  • _for best effect… leave off ‘Thank’ to make it sound like the tape already started…

The Script

Thank you for calling Planet Argon. If you know your party’s extension, please say or enter it followed by the pound key.

(wait 5-10 seconds…)

I’m sorry, I don’t recognize that extension. Please ensure you’re using a French-Canadian accent.
